CALL NOTES — Priya R (Fernleigh Bookkeeping)
Client: Tom Avery — Avery Joinery Pty Ltd
Call Tue 14/10, ~20 min, Tom rang in
- Q1 BAS (Jul–Sep) NOT lodged yet. Missing 3 supplier invoices: Kiln Timber x2 (Aug + Sep deliveries), Bendigo Hardware x1 (Sept, approx $1.2k).
- Told him: need them by Fri 24/10. If not, we lodge on estimates and amend next quarter — he's ok with that but would rather get it right.
- Ute bought Sept, $38,900 inc GST, financed. Asked if he can claim the whole lot this year.
-> Explained depends on the instant asset write-off threshold for the year + his turnover + how it's financed. DID NOT commit to anything. I need to check the current threshold and his aggregated turnover before advising. Don't put a number in writing yet.
- Wants to take on an apprentice in January (first-year carpentry, maybe through a group training org, not decided).
-> asked about super + workers comp. Said I'd send our new-employee checklist.
- Quoted extra work: apprentice setup + payroll changes = $440 inc GST, one-off. He said yes on the call — confirm in writing.
- Prefers email. No calls before 10am (on site early).
- His records are getting better, bank feed now connected — worth saying thanks.
TO DO
- Letter/email confirming the above, attach new-employee checklist
- Reminder SMS Thu 23/10 re invoices
- File note in practice manager
- Me: look up current IAWO threshold + Tom's turnover before next call
